- I was single, again.

- Heartbroken. Ready
to just give up.

- Me too, until I
found Data Mate.

I know it's the best dating
app because I work here.

My team brainstorms the
thousands of questions

on our app's rigorous surveys.

Our engineers constantly
update our algorithm

to capture your
digital heartbeat,

all to find our users
love, and that includes me.

- [Announcer] Data Mate,
because information

will lead to the
mate that you need.

Download the app now.

(crowd applauds)

- Woo! Yes!

Now, that is fire!
- Very good.

- And, Vivi, oh, Vivi.

Come on! Way to use
your passion, huh?

Now, how long have you and, uh-

- Kenny been together?

A year and a half.

- OMG.

You're gonna be married by
your next birthday. Life goal.

- Yeah. Don't jinx it.

- What if I'm manifesting it?

- Oh.

- And this is why Data Mate
innovates how we find love,

because everybody
deserves to feel

the way that our Vivi feels.
(crowd applauds)

- Thank you, Adam.

You know, I swear,

after the boy who lived next
door and the guy from college

and the blind dates and
the friends of friends, I-

- [Coworker] Vivi.

- Right.

I'm just saying I
finally found my person!

- Woo!
(crowd applauds)

You see?

Now, this is why we just
hit 20 million users.

Mm! Great job, everybody!

And this is also why

we are coming back here
tonight to celebrate.

Oh! Good job!

(crowd applauds)
(Vivi laughs)

- Thank you.

(phone ringing)

Oh.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

How are you?

- Hi, honey.

When are you getting ready
for your big party with Kenny?

- I'm going home to change now.

I'm excited, Mom.

- You know, if your boss

really wanted to celebrate
the company's success,

instead of spending
money on a fancy shindig,

he would give you all bonuses.

You can tell him I said that.

- Please, Walter.

You just hate any event

where you have to
tuck in your shirt.

Vivi should have fun.

- Here we go.

- Oh, because we had so much fun

at that holiday
dinner at the lodge.

We got all dressed up
and paid all that money,

and for what, Janice?

A couple of rubbery steaks.

- It was 1998. Let it go.

- Mom, Dad just cares that
I'm appreciated at work.

Dad, Mom just wants to make
sure that I'm not all work

and can enjoy the
finer things in life.

You both want
what's best from me.

Love you. Bye.

(Vivi sighs)

- You good?

- I'm great.

No one can ruin today.

- That's right.

- Okay. I'll see you later.

- Yeah.

(peaceful music)

(car horn blares)
- Oh!

- [Stranger] Ow.

- Oh no. I am so, so sorry.

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I think so,

but that might be the
concussion speaking.

(both chuckle)

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

- What?

- You were right
next to the fountain.

You could have just
dropped the coin in.

- It's kind of the
ideal launching spot.

- Yeah, that data is great,

but do all the wishes
you ever make come true?

- Well, not necessarily.

- Then why not toss it from
over here or over there?

You know, be spontaneous.

If you want different results,

you gotta try
something different.

- Thanks for the
generous advice.

- So what are you
wishing for anyway?

Come on. You owe me for
the giant lump on my head.

- Fine.

Well, I used to
wish to find love,

and now that I have it,
I wish to optimize it.

(stranger softly chuckles)

- Oh, you're serious.

I'm sorry. It's just,
find love and optimize it?

That sounds like a robot
on Valentine's Day.

- Or like me with my boyfriend.

- Ah. My apologies.

You know, for some folks,

an aggressive stance
towards love pays off.

I've seen it so many times
and I'm happy for them.

- So, if my perspective
is so funny, what's yours?

- I don't chase life.
I let it come to me.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Okay. It's not Postmates.

(coin clinks)

(stranger clapping)

- I hope your wish comes true.

- [Vivi] Yeah.

(crowd chattering)
(peaceful jazz music)

- I'll grab us drinks.

- I'll miss you.

(phone dings)

(Vivi gasps)

Oh, Kenny, your boss is texting.

Oh.

(crowd chattering)

Thanks.

- Whoa. What gives?

- Mr. Highland.

He just texted.

- I'm sorry.

I was gonna end things.

I just didn't want you to come
to this party without a date.

- Please, if you cared, you
would've said something.

You wouldn't have cheated.

- Okay. We still had
our good moments, right?

- Then why did you cheat?

- I don't know.

I guess constantly
being reminded about

all the ways we're far
from what your app says

a successful couple should
look like and sound like.

Oh, and those magazine
quizzes you love,

which say we're falling
short in one way or another.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Is anything ever your fault?

- You looked at a message you
thought was from my boss. Why?

- No.

You do not get to make
yourself the victim.

I wanted love

with someone who wanted it too

and who was willing
to put in the work

so that we could have

the relationship that
we dreamed about,

and I still do want that,

but not with you.

(solemn music)

(Vivi scoffs)

That was our one-year
anniversary in Hawaii

and this is my birthday.

Whatever.

- Come on. That's enough.

Look, we've got the
three post-breakup Rs.

Red, reality, and
ripping to shreds.

You are gonna be all right.

- I couldn't see what was right
in front of me for so long.

I think I just need to stay
here for a little while.

I am taking all of my sick days.

(gentle music)

(lively music)

(lively music continues)

Oh!
- Oh, welcome back!

- Ooh!

Is it weird that I'm
nervous to go back upstairs?

- Oh, don't be. It's
been two months, okay?

No one even remembers the
whole you and Kenny thing.

Okay, so maybe some people

might vaguely recall
something, but-

- It's fine.

What really matters is that I
used Data Mate the right way.

It should have worked, but it
didn't, and I wanna know why.

- Then let's check with
the analytics team.

They're so nerdy,

they make us engineers
seem borderline cool.

(both chuckle)

- [Vivi] Hey, Dom.
How's it going?

- Vivi, I'm so sorry.

- Thanks.

Actually, I've been pondering
a question for weeks.

How did Data Mate
go wrong for me?

- Oh, it's not just you.

(somber music)

From how often previous
users rejoin the app,

success rate of a relationship
of a year is roughly 20%.

- That's it?

How?

Is it a flaw in the algorithm,

or is it the questions
my team creates?

- Our app makes hundreds of
millions of dollars a year.

I don't think anyone
would consider it flawed.

- Okay. Thanks, Dom.

I thought I could conquer love.

Data Mate gave me hope
and then it failed,

'cause that's what it does.

- There are other
ways to meet guys.

- What is the point, Nila?

I have tried everything.

I just wanted love, to
build a great relationship,

and maybe even a family one day.

At this point, forget being
married by my next birthday.

Now, it is about
not dying alone.

Oh, is this why people get cats?

- Okay. I know what you need.

Some hedonistic
housewives hating.

- Change the channel. I will
literally watch anything else.

- [Narrator] One of the
world's greatest matchmakers,

Raina Kumar.

- What show is this?
It's all so beautiful.

- [Narrator] Utilizing
Indian traditions

from over thousands of years,

Raina finds her
clients happiness.

- My methods are a bit
ancient in some ways,

even in India, yet
modern in others,

but I believe in the
purpose behind each facet,

which is why 95% of my clients
enjoy lifelong relationships.

- [Both] Oh.

- If that number's
real, she's it.

Raina Kumar is how
we improve Data Mate

so it actually
finds people love!

- But would she be interested?

(gentle music)

- Let's find out.

- [Raina] Thank you.

- Oh!

- Ms. Kumar, so glad you
could make it. I'm Vivi.

- And I'm a huge fan named Nila.

- Oh, please, call me Raina.

- Here's chai.

I have watched your show
nonstop the last week,

and I learned just
how you like it.

- Oh, I'm flattered and
perhaps a little concerned.

(group chuckles)

I read the materials
your company sent me,

but, to be frank, I'm not
sure how I could help.

- Well, from your show,

I know your matchmaking
tradition is by
Indians for Indians,

but we will pay generously

for you to consult with
us for three months.

We'd like an inside
look at your process.

Then, we would digitize it,

create analogous inputs
for our algorithm,

and evaluate success
via analytics.

- I don't know those words.

What I know are biodata,
rashi, and guna.

- And I don't know those words.

- Thank you. Sorry I'm late.

- Oh, meet my son, Bhumesh.

Bhumesh, this is Nila and Vivi.

- Please, call me Boom.

- Hi.

- And Vivi and I already met.

How are things
with the boyfriend?

- Ex-boyfriend.

- Oh, I guess we didn't
optimize love after all.

(Vivi nervously chuckles)

- How is he involved
in all of this?

- Oh, Bhumesh runs the business.

He has an MBA from Wharton.

- Classic Indian mom moment.

- Raina, I know you
have a successful show,

but dating apps are
only growing worldwide.

Has it affected your
business at all?

- We're already
starting to plateau.

There's a real merit to us

getting in with an app on our
term before it's too late.

It's like I keep saying, Mom.

we have to make our
matchmaking traditions

more accessible
to today's users.

Respect the past, but
eyes toward the future.

- We want to find our
singles love just like you.

If you work with us, Raina,

our service will get better and
you'll get on users' radars.

Our clientele use multiple apps.

- Oh.
- Say you develop one.

- Which I've been
advocating for.

- You'd be among our users
go-tos. It's a win-win.

- Thank you, Vivi, but I
cannot reduce my matchmaking

to zeros and ones for Data Mate.

It has to be experienced,

and if that means that, one day,

we have to close
our doors, so be it.

I cannot short
change the process.

Thank you.

- Wait.

What if I hire someone

to go through your matchmaking
process from start to finish

like any other client?

- Mom, the process
would get its due,

and Data Mate can make

meaningful and informed
changes to their app,

and if they improve, then
we take all the credit.

This can set us up
beautifully for the future.

- The person we choose to go
through my matchmaking process

must want a life partner now.

- Of course. I can't
be the only one.

- Someone who
respects our culture.

- It's not a fad.
It's a tradition.

- I've taught her well.

- And they should have

an open mind and heart
about matchmaking.

- Agreed.

If they are like me, they will
try anything that can work.

So, can I find a test user?

- I already have.

- Me?

- That could work.

This could be the start of us
tapping a whole new market,

our matchmaking for non-Indians.

- Most importantly, we'll
bring more love to more people,

starting with Vivi.

- I want love,

but I don't know.

- Okay, we'll prepare
you, then you decide.

- "We'll"?

- We'll.

I'm also a client concierge.

I'll be with you
every step of the way.

We're gonna have so much fun.

- Yeah.

- You wouldn't apply for a
job without a proper resume.

Biodata is like
that for marriage.

- Some biodatas ask for

physical characteristics
or things like caste,

but we're more modern.

- Actually, I took
a couple swings.

- [Raina] Ooh!

- Your GPA, your credit score,

and your last work
performance review?

- It was stellar.

- This is only what you've done.

- Oh, the next
one is my fun one.

- "Five things I would take
if I were stuck on the moon."

- Does she think she's an
astronaut or Elon Musk?

- But that was in my
favorite dating column.

- We'll just save
these for later.

- Vivi, this process
has to be personal.

You gotta write about you,
the things that make you tick,

how a potential
partner would view you.

- I have to think about it.

- While you're thinking,

be sure to add any core
expectations for a marriage.

Dynamic, communication,
children.

- Wait, you want me to
talk about kids now?

- [Raina] Of course.

(Vivi sighs)

- Boom,

how would you fill yours out?

- Uh, uh, uh. I
don't have a biodata.

- Hello, client concierge.

- Fine.

I'd say I'm mature, preferring
to think through life.

- You mean too cool for school?

But I'm a total go-getter.

- So you think I'm cool, huh?

- Keep going.

- A partner could view me as
reliable, dedicated to us.

- But I make even the
mundane memorable.

- Oh, your biodatas
certainly were.

- Okay. What about
for a partnership?

- We would have to
be a team of equals,

and for every rough interaction
we have as a couple-

- There should be five good
ones, like the Gottmans say.

- That's how it
was for my folks.

- Sounds really nice.

- Finish later.

She's reading your palm for
your traits and love destiny.

It's an old tradition
not everyone does.

- But you seem so pragmatic.

- And, pragmatically speaking,

every relationship
requires a little luck.

This might nudge us in
the right direction.

- She will find a
deep, lasting love,

and it will come through

a mother-like figure
that she trusts.

- Meaning I am going to
fall in love with a guy

through Raina, and that means
I can fix Data Mate too!

- Okay, slow down there, turbo.

First, you have to be
honest at all times.

Second, you have to give
each guy a fair chance,

because chemistry
isn't always instant.

- Sometimes it is.

- But no hanky-panky, hm?

And, remember, finding
a winning relationship

goes beyond statistics
and surveys.

Are you willing to see
things in a new way?

- Yes. Raina, match me, please.

(Raina chuckles)

- [Raina] Okay.

(group chuckles)

- Data Mate's famous for
our red flag ratings.

Users love deal-breakers.

- "Do they wear white
socks outside of the gym?"

This is my karma
from a past life.

- I think what mom means is that

none of this gauges a
relationship's potential.

- Focus on practical matters

you must find out from a
potential partner early on

and know for yourself.

- Practical matters like what?

- What kind of luxuries
do you want in life?

What's your view on finances?

What mix of togetherness,

going out socially as a couple
and alone time do you need?

- Hm.

- I guess I always
just assumed that,

once I had the right partner,

these things would just
work themselves out.

- Or maybe determining the
answers to these questions

is how you find
the right partner.

(Vivi softly chuckles)

- Welcome.

Seeing how you live

tells me things about you
that you may not realize.

- Oh. Make yourself at home.

- Here's one successful
relationship.

Is your place being
used as a cold storage?

- You wish you could
optimize space like me.

- Vivi, do you remember that
talk we had when we first met

about how, if you want
something different,

then you need to do something
different, like adding color?

- No. What does that have
to do with matching me?

- If you can't try something
different in your own home,

how are you gonna
do it in romance?

- I really don't like
when you make good points.

Fine. You can do
anything you like.

You can even look in my closet.

- [Boom] Why were these
buried in the closet?

- I don't know.

They're from a long time ago
and they don't quite fit.

- [Boom] Wanna try one?

- Sure.

(gentle music)

- Tell me about
your dating history.

- Does that really matter?

- No, not at all,

as long as you're okay
making the same mistakes.

- Okay. Well, my first
boyfriend was in high school.

Billy, the neighbor's son.

He was actually really sweet,

and then I realized he had
me doing all of his homework.

- Hah! That's rough.

- Don't you have
something to fix?

- [Boom] Yeah, if you'll
help me move some furniture.

- Okay. This is me being
spontaneous and open-minded.

- Your condo is ready for
your new journey to better.

- You know, you're
really good at this.

- Was that a compliment?

- Just for that,

it is your turn to talk about
your past relationships.

- Don't say relationships.

It's been so long since you
brought a girl to see me.

- Classic Indian mom moment.

- These bachelorettes are
open to meeting Bhumesh.

You can swipe.

- This is where the line blurs
between matchmaker and mom.

- Whoa!

They're beautiful.

- And smart and successful and
total winners, all of them.

I'm just not in a place for it.

I have to keep the family
business afloat, don't I?

- Oh, is this when the
kids say "whatever"?

- Moving on.

Vivi, there's just one
more thing we need.

Family background.

- Ah. How was growing
up with your parents?

- Uh.

- Actually, we'll just
ask them when we meet.

- Great.

(Raina speaks in
foreign language)

- Now?

- [Raina] Of course. Let's go.

- Coming.

(Vivi sighs)
(gentle music)

- Anyway, we love that
you are matching Vivi,

but what has that
got to do with us?

- Oh, it's not only
Vivi getting married.

- Huh? Come again?

- You two and your relationship
with Vivi will be affected.

Finding the right partner
is about you as well.

- Can you tell us how things
were from her childhood to now?

- Oh.

- So good.

My parents were so present

and I always knew
they were around

and that really sums it up.

- Aw. She's such
a great daughter.

Big heart. Hard worker.

Never got in trouble.

- Walter, are you okay?

- Oh, it's my back.

It only likes my recliner.

Oh, it's hidden in the closet.

- Because we have company
and it's an eyesore.

- You see, when
people come over,

Janice wants the
place to look like

no one actually lives here.

- Oh, no.
- Guys!

I appreciate you both

trying to make the place
welcoming for Raina and Boom.

- Such zesty people.

(group laughs)

- Why don't we switch gears?

What would you like
in a son-in-law?

- Let's add a field for
users to specifically say

why they'd make a good
partner for someone else

and for users to answer

why previous relationships
didn't work out.

- Spicy.

Oh, and maybe we change
the input around red flags?

- So we're adding new questions?

- We're just updating inputs,

keeping things fresh
with the new questions.

- Yeah, for the users
that don't care about it.

- Okay, but maybe
these are questions

they should care about.

You approved hiring Raina.

- Hey, hey, I approved
briefly consulting with Raina.

That was really just a PR
push for the bottom line.

- Well, these
questions stem from

what I'm learning with her.

I think they'll significantly
increase our user success rate

and more user success means
word of mouth and more profit.

- Okay, but you
have a short leash,

especially if I'm not
gonna see results.

- You got it.

(exciting music)
(team shouting)

(exciting music continues)
(Boom grunts)

(team cheers)

- [Boom] Yeah!

Nice job.

Good stuff, good stuff. Nice.

Hey!

- [Vivi] Hey.

- What are you doing over here?

- I went a new way
and it led me here.

(Boom chuckles)

So you're a soccer champion?

- Oh, hardly, no, no.

I come to the park every week

and just see what
piques my interest.

Sometimes, it's archery.
Other times, it's cricket.

Today, they just
needed an extra player,

and it was a game to raise
funds for foster kids.

I mean, I couldn't
say no to that.

- That's really admirable,
Boom, and very impromptu.

- And you never
would've seen it,

except you took a
different route.

- Oh no. Are you
rubbing off on me?

- You want an
autograph, don't you?

Guys, she wants my autograph.

- Calm down. I am
taking baby steps.

(Boom chuckles)

- You'll be taking much
bigger steps than that.

You'll see soon
enough. Anyway, ta-ta.

- Bye.

Wait, bigger steps?

Come. Come.

- Is this really necessary?

- If your families don't match,

your relationship will
be a battle every day.

- Why are you being like this?

I'm telling you.

Your sister never apologized
for calling me a yokel.

- Yes, she did.

- Paul, you are
so well-mannered.

- Oh, being courteous was
drilled into me as a child.

- You know, my friends think
I'm crazy for doing this,

but I think I'd be crazy not to.

- So that's what I've
spent the last few years

doing at Data Mate.

- You've been diving
into the data of love,

not treating it like magic.

- Exactly. I don't want dating
to rely so much on luck.

Tell me about your
love languages.

English and first-year German.

- Uh.

(upbeat music)

- Okay, let me
balance things out.

Here's a strength of yours.
You're great at deflecting.

- Oh, better than being the
guy whose literal job is

to find people commitment
while refusing it himself.

- So much of a good relationship

is treating each other well
in the small moments, so.

Oops!

May I have a napkin, please?

- Yeah.

Walter!

- What?

- Thank you so much.

- You can tell me
about your Enneagram.

- Enneagram?

- You know what's worked
for a few years longer

than relationship
pop psychology?

Getting to know someone.

Show your human side.

My life at the hedge
fund is algorithms, data,

pattern recognition,
predictive models.

- Wow. That is music to my ears.

- You know, there's
this feeling I get

when I'm out in nature,

like when I'm gazing
out at the ocean

or taking in a view
from the mountaintop.

I get these butterflies
in my stomach

and my heart starts to race.

Somehow, I'm so at peace.

I know, it sounds cheesy, but-

- No, not at all.

- I want that with
another person.

- I understand.

My forehead gets warm when
I see that special someone.

(Vivi awkwardly chuckles)
(upbeat music)

- [Raina] So, it's
been a full three days.

Who stood out?

- Well, I mean, Tristan.

(group chuckles)

And Paul and Leonard,
I like the dynamic.

- Wonderful.

Bhumesh and I will take care
of setting up the dates,

but you've done very well.

Let's celebrate.

Come to my home for a
traditional Indian dinner.

- I wouldn't want to impose.

- Bhumesh, you
don't mind, do you?

- Uh, no, no, no, not at all.

- Thank you.

(peaceful music)

(Raina singing in
foreign language)

(peaceful music continues)

- I didn't realize
Dad's been gone so long.

- You would know if you visited

Dad's side of the family
in India since he passed.

You won't even step foot
into the pooja room since.

- In our culture,

it is parents' duty to see
their children settled.

Pratik did not get the chance,

but it was his last
wish to see you married.

It's my wish for you too.

- Because it's tradition?

- No, because it's what
will make you truly happy.

It worries me that all you
do is date superficially.

The boy we raised is
deeper than that, no?

Is there something
you don't like about

the women I tried
to connect you with?

You've dated Indian
women before.

- Of course I have, and
non-Indian women too.

That's not it at all.

- Then what?
- Okay.

What are you afraid of?

(junk clatters)

Vivi must be here.

Vivi!

- [Vivi] Hi!

- [Raina] Oh, leave it,
leave it. No problem.

- Sorry. The door was open, I-

- [Raina] Of course
it was open, for you.

Leave it, leave it, leave it.

- Are you sure?

- Come.
- Okay.

- Hi.

- [Raina] Hi.

(gentle music)

- [Vivi] Mm, Raina, that
aroma, I am drooling.

- It's korma. It was
Pratik's favorite.

- Please, let me.

- No recipe required.

(Raina and Vivi chuckle)

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

(Vivi sighs)

- Bhum's a good son.

- He's okay.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

- You think he can
handle that korma though?

- Well, the best
dishes are more than

just a list of ingredients
and instructions.

- [Vivi] Hm.

- What also matters is the
freshness of the spices,

the interplay of pan and flame,

and, of course, the
cook's own skill.

(Vivi chuckles)

- [Boom] Subtle, Mom.

- Metaphors are
always on the menu.

(Vivi and Raina chuckle)

- Raina, tell me.

Were you and Pratik more
than just ingredients?

- Oh, yes.
(gentle music)

Actually, we met through
my family's matchmaker.

Arranged marriages
come in all types,

but, to me, what I do,
matchmaking, is more than that.

- How so?

- Well, it's a marriage

considered with immense
care for the families,

but love between pride
and groom is the priority.

- [Vivi] Hm.

- Like with me and Pratik.

You know, we came
to this country

to build a life and a family,

leaving behind everything
from India except each other.

(Raina and Vivi chuckle)

We didn't have any money,
but Pratik would always rent

the latest Bollywood
films for us to watch,

and he would sing all of
our favorite songs to me

and make me chai every morning.

(Raina chuckles)
(gentle music)

- I know you both must have
loved each other very much.

That's what I want
from all of this.

- We will find it.

- I hope so.

(Raina chuckles)

- Dinner is served.

- Mm. This is beyond delicious.

- You know, Priya and
Amit's engagement ceremony

is almost here.

- They're a great
couple Mom matched.

- Hm.

- Join us.

It's been so long since you
attended a client's event.

- I'd love to, Mom,

but I just snagged tickets to
our concert that same night.

Gotta seize the moment.

- Sure. Okay, son.

- Ah! Mom!

Actually, I'll think about it

in case the concert
gets canceled.

(Raina chuckles)

(Vivi chuckles)

Vivi, if the food's too hot,
you can eat some yogurt.

No need to be a hero.

- Oh, I'm good. Thanks.

- Oh. How'd you get
into spicy food?

- From traveling, mostly.

- What? I love traveling.

Columbia.

- That's on my list.

The last few places I went
were Mexico, Ghana, Indonesia.

- Did you love the sambal there?

- Oh, every kind. Tell
me you went to Bali.

- Like you have to ask. Did
you try all the local produce?

- Is there any better
reason for traveling?

- If you included this kind of
stuff in your dating profile,

the stuff that you love, the
stuff that makes you you,

you would've found the
right guy a long time ago.

- Oh. I hope I still can.

- You will. This is
a nice side of you.

- Hm. At least one of
us has a nice side.

(Boom chuckles)

Okay, not bad!

(Boom laughs)

- I'm sorry. Were you trying?

- Uh-huh! Keep
telling yourself that!

Oh my gosh.

- Hey, about this weekend.

I'm gonna find
something fun and light

so you can get to
know these guys,

but, pretty much, you're
gonna have two hours each

with Leonard, Tristan, and Paul.

- Okay, three dates in one day?

- [Boom] Mhm.

- Is that normal?

- Nope, but neither is

having a tech company
anxiously awaiting the results.

- [Father] Yeah,
try that one. Great.

- [Vivi] Thinking
of taking a dip?

- No. it just reminds me of
this time when I was a kid.

I got it in my head

that fishing was the ultimate
father and son activity,

so I bugged my dad until
he finally took me.

Now, keep in mind he
was from a city in India

that was nowhere near the ocean.

(Vivi chuckles)

But my dad and I,

we were on this tiny boat
on the water for hours

before we realized that we
were terrible at fishing.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

But he must have seen it coming,

because he brought a deck of
cards and we played Go Fish

right there on the boat instead.

It's the only way
I caught something.

- You had a really special dad.

- Yeah. You two
would've gotten along.

(gentle music)

- Race you back.

- [Boom] Whoa, okay.

(Boom laughs)

- Let's go!

- [Boom] I'm so gonna win this!

- [Vivi] No, you are not!

- [Boom] We got a long run back!

- Ultimately, the
best relationship
would create harmony

for me, my partner, and
the people in our lives.

- Uh, oh. This isn't
the restaurant.

- [Walter] It looks
like a medical building.

- Our reservations
are in an hour.

In the meantime, I booked you
guys for marriage counseling.

- You tricked us.

- Where did you
learn this behavior?

- Dad, Mom, I want you to have

a great relationship the
same way I'm going to.

Don't you deserve that? We
could be one big happy family.

- [Jen] Sure, but-

- And I prepaid for 10 sessions.

- 10?

- [Walter] Oh.

- You know what therapists cost?

Money doesn't grow on trees.

- I'm appalled you'd
use my line against me.

(Vivi chuckles)

(crowd applauds)

- All right.

Next up, we have,
ah, Vivi, Nila!

Tell me how that trial's going

with Raina Kumar modifications.

Tell me. Tell me.

- Well, for users engaging
with the new criteria,

the success rate is up
to 31% and climbing.

- Ooh, 31%.

Now, can anybody give me a
dollar figure to that, please?

(gentle music)

Thank you.

Double digit millions in
increased revenue already.

Very nice!

Woo!
(crowd applauding)

- I am so happy
you feel that way,

because I have some more ideas

to make Data Mate a
little more personal.

Maybe face-to-face coaching
or in-person intros.

- Hey, okay, so now,

do you know why dating
apps are so popular, huh?

Because people wanna meet
people without meeting people.

Hm? Am I right?

- [Audience Member]
That's true, yeah.

- What about some
different prompts?

Maybe "what is your
parents' relationship like?"

- Ooh.

- Based on what
we've done so far,

that should increase
user engagement.

- Which our
advertisers will love!

Yes!
(crowd applauding)

- It's cute and classy.

- What about fun and sexy?

- Those are nice goals.

- It has to be comfy if
I'm gonna make it through

all three of these second dates.

(doorbell rings)

That's Boom. I have
to get changed.

- Oh, someone just
got adorably anxious.

- Lies!

- Hey, Nila. Vivi ready?

- Finishing touches.

- Vivi, we're on
a tight schedule!

Plus I just double-parked
out outside. We gotta go.

(door creaks)
(upbeat music)

- How do I look?

- Late.

- Go. Have fun.

I'll lock up,

after I've binged all your
streaming subscriptions.

- Nila!

Okay. Are you ready?

(lively music)

(Vivi squeals)

(Vivi chuckles)

Excuse me, sir.

May I help you?

- No. Thank you.

(Vivi groans)

(boyfriend chuckles)

- Excuse me just a sec. Just...

(crowd chattering)
(games beeping)

(crowd continues chattering)

- Hi.
(Nila chuckles)

- [Nila] Hi.

- How are you?

- Good. Okay, don't be mad.

See, back in the day in India,

potential couples would have

group excursions or
chaperoned outings.

- Wait. Raina put
you up to this?

Does she not think that
I'm responsible a adult?

- Oh, no, this isn't about that.

This is about

other people's interpretations
of your relationship.

See, 'cause when you're in it,

you can be blinded
by attraction,

but people on the outside

might be able to see
the bigger picture.

On the plus side,
so far, so good.

(Nila chuckles)

- This is our little
fluffy Bubbles.

- Oh!

When did you rescue her?

- About five years ago. My
friend couldn't keep her.

She comes from a
line of show dogs.

Fit right in with
the whole family.

- My folks could
never handle a dog.

- They've got
enough to deal with.

- Meaning?

- Oh, just that they're lucky

you turned out as well as you
did, given their tendencies.

- Wow. So much for your manners.

I mean, how can you think
so little of my folks?

They raised me.

- Was what I saw an exception?

My mom and dad taught me

what you project to the outside
world comes back to you.

That's why being,
well, socially refined

is good for our image
and is good for us.

- Yeah. Some people
don't care about image.

- I noticed.

- Thanks for your time, Paul.

It was nice getting to know you.

- I'm sure it was.

(classical music)
(crowd chattering)

(classical music continues)

- You're Raina's last spy?

- I prefer caring observer.

I'm sorry. That was rough.

- You know, I thought that
I had accepted my parents,

but, somehow, Paul
struck a nerve.

- Hm.

Well, if you organize
and store your emotions

like you do your belongings,

maybe you buried how
you feel so far down

that you can't find it.

Could even be from years ago.

- Like childhood?

- Okay. You wanna
tell me about that?

- I mean, I don't have many
fond childhood family memories

like other people.

Maybe that is in part
because of my folks,

but I can't just write them off.

- I respect that and
that's my culture too.

We may not agree with
everything our parents do,

but we still care for them.

- Even when they
sometimes drive you crazy.

- Only sometimes?

(Boom laughs)

You're doing great.

- I need another pick-me-up.

- Actually, I have
a better idea.

(gentle music)
(crowd chattering)

- Vivi, welcome to Priya
and Amit's engagement.

- Bhumesh, you came.

And with Vivi, no less.

I take it your
concert was canceled?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Raina, you probably wanna
hear how my dates went.

- Actually, I already know.

(Raina chuckles)

Oh, what's this for?

- For caring.

You really put into focus

how Data Mate sorely
lacks a human touch.

- Oh, Vivi, I'm
only human touch.

(Vivi chuckles)

Go. Sit.

- [Boom] Vivi, shall we?

Here. Let me.

- Oh, thanks.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.
- Hi.

- So, what do the
lamps symbolize?

- Oh, so much. Dispelling
evil with good.

Spreading joy and prosperity.

Burning off our worst
impulses with our best selves.

We light lamps for almost
all Hindu ceremonies.

- Hm. I love that.

What's your favorite meaning?

- It's actually when

lighting lamps is wisdom
overcoming our ignorance.

- So, you need all the lamps.
- Not enough lamps for you?

(Vivi and Boom laugh)

(peaceful music)

Yeah, surprisingly, Priya
and Amit's engagement

was super easy to put together.

- You did not put this
whole thing together.

- I mean, we had
a big hand in it.

- Yeah. Oh, thank you.

- Thank you so much.

This is jalebi. It's
an Indian sweet.

- Sounds excellent.

I can use my fingers?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Mm.

- It's so good. It's so good.

- So sweet.

- This is the bride's
mom doing the Aarti,

kind of like an opening prayer.

- It's so beautiful.

- This is a tradition
in some parts of India.

It's called the Roka.

It's related to the word "stop,"

because the bride and groom
don't need to keep looking.

They found each other.

(lively music)

- Roka.

- [Boom] And now
relatives give gifts

to welcome the bride and
groom into their family,

because, like we
talked about before,

a marriage isn't just
between two people.

- It's the whole family.

- Mhm.

This is the formal
engagement, the Sagai.

(bright music)

- It's so special.

(bright music)

(bright music continues)

(crowd applauding)

(gentle music)

What are you doing?

- [Boom] I know those people.

- In a bad way?

- Nope. Just haven't
spoken to them in years.

- Okay, I'm guessing you
haven't been to community events

since your dad died,

because, ultimately,
they're about family,

so you let go of these other
relationships along the way.

- They're bringing
out dinner. Let's go.

- Okay. Hold on.

You're Mr. Spontaneous,
which is great and fun,

but you ever think you might
be using that spontaneity

to avoid dealing with what
is right in front of you?

- Just to be clear,

we're talking about
my human connections?

- Light one lamp for wisdom.

I mean, these were
good friendships,

and it's worth fixing things.

Great connections
are hard to find.

Come on.
(gentle music)

- Bhumesh Uncle!

- Jaya, wow, you've
gotten so big.

- Boom, where have
you been, man?

- Vicky.
- Come on.

- It's good to see you, man.

- Come on.
- Really good.

(gentle music)

(Vivi chuckles)

In case you get cold.

- Where did you get this?

- Oh, I bought it off an auntie.

- So you stole it?

- I might have stolen it.

(Vivi and Boom laugh)

(exciting music)

They might be coming after us.

Oh, man. Here comes the party.

- All right, Boom.

You're about to see a
whole 'nother side of me.

- [Boom] Oh, okay.

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

(vocalist continues singing
in foreign language)

(exciting music continues)
(crowd cheering)

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

(Boom chuckles)

- How's it going, man?

- Good, man.

- Yeah?

Dude, you and Raina should
take a bow for this engagement.

- Oh, thank you. Nah,
this is just what we do.

- Sure, but you've helped make

so many other people's
weddings happen.

What's it gonna take for yours?

- Ha. The right woman.

- The right woman?

Oh, maybe now you try telling
me about this special lady.

- Well, she'd have
such a generous heart

and she'd find a
way to take care of

all the people in her life,

and she'd be driven and
knows how to take control.

(tender music)

But she'd also be
fun and open-minded,

and I'd be thinking
about her all the time,

and not just because
of how she looks,

but because of how she
thinks and who she is.

- I see you know
exactly what you want.

Hope you find her.

- Yeah.

(crowd applauding)

- Thank you. That was lovely.

(Vivi giggles)
(tender music)

- You were amazing.

- That was exactly
what I needed.

- Me too. Thanks for being
a part of me reconnecting.

This makes me wanna do more,

maybe even go back to India
to go see my family there.

- Boom, why did you
decide to bring me here?

- I don't know,
but I'm glad I did.

This is the most
relaxed I've seen you.

- This is the most comfortable
I have felt in a long time

with anyone.

- Uh, so,

you're choosing between
Leonard and Tristan, right?

- Uh.

(Vivi clears throat)

- Yeah, Leonard and Tristan.

You know, it's getting late.

You stay here with
Raina. I'll call a ride.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Okay.

- Have a good one.

(Raina speaks in
foreign language)

- What's going on with Vivi?

- Mom, she's a client.

I'm just doing my job.
(lively music)

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

- Um, are we the
new office it girls?

- Um.

- Hey, Vivi, Nila.

We are about to have some
real talk up in C-suite.

You wanna come with?

Because, you,

you're really showing people
what you're capable of.

- Thank you.

I am all about better
relationships and
better matches.

- And better results.

We're on track for
our best quarter yet.

You keep this up,

you're in line for
some pretty big things.

Let's go!

(Vivi and Nila squeal)

- [Vivi] Hi, Daddy.

- [Walter] Heya, turtle.

I don't mean to bother you

before your big dates
with Leonard and Tristan.

- That's okay. What's up?

- [Walter] Come
around out front.

- Okay.

(Jen sighs)

Hi.

- Hi!

- Are you cleaning my room out?

- Yeah, we have to,

because we're turning it
into our home fitness center.

Isn't that right, honey?

- Absolutely, love.

What a wonderful
idea on your part.

My heart thanks you
in more ways than one.

- Why are you guys
talking like that?

- Oh, well, our marriage
counselor suggested

changing the tone of our words

to change the tone
of our relationship.

- We thought we'd keep
the momentum going

by exercising together.

Burn cals. Stay pals.

(Jen chuckles)

- Aw. That makes me so happy.

- Aw, honey, it's working.

Hey, Boom!

- Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels.

- Hi.

- You ready for your dates?

- Yeah. Just have to
put these boxes inside.

- Oh, please.

Let me.

(Boom chuckles)

- Go ahead and laugh.

- No, not at all.

I bet my mom still has

my vintage Ninja
Turtle action figures

in a drawer somewhere.

You know, it's not really about
the stuffed animal or toy.

It's more about the phase
in your life they represent,

the innocence before you realize
how fragile it all can be.

- Oh, your first kiss.

- There was no kiss!
- What are you talking about?

- Oh, I swear I saw you
smooch this little guy

when you were like
five years old.

It was so adorable.

- [Walter] Boom, you know
what Vivi used to call him?

- Uh-uh.

- Bear E. White.

(Vivi's parents laugh)

She loved his music as a baby.

Hey, Jen.

Maybe you and I should listen
to some of Barry's songs

like we used to.
- Ooh!

- Okay, you know, I never
thought I would say this,

but can you just chill
it on the wooing?

- Oh.
- Oh, well, our counselor

told us to live our truth, so.

- This is what you
paid for, Vivi,

and money doesn't
grow on trees, right?

- Oh, burn.

- How did I know that was
gonna come back to me?

- Hello, Vivi.

- Hi.

- Meet Arin. He's
a Vedic astrologer.

- Oh. I love reading
my horoscope.

- Ah, but Vedic
astrology is different.

It takes into account that
Earth's orbit wobbles.

- Oh.

- Indians have
long believed that

the stars reveal your karma,

what you carry from a past life,

your guna, moral
character, and more,

all indicated by your
date and time of birth,

day of the week, even
your exact birth location.

- I know what you're thinking.
All this stuff is mystical.

- Well, all those
facts about my birth

are information similar
to how Data Mate requests

basic information
about its users.

- The astrological
paths of two people

can indicate
misalignment or harmony.

- Similar to how
Data Mate's algorithm

seeks compatibilities
to find matches.

- By the way, Mom, this kind
of comparison is exactly

how we should explain astrology
if we're gonna modernize.

- Bring in the first bachelor.

- Wait. My dates
are happening here?

- Of course.

You're getting your
astrological readings together.

- Vivi and Leonard,

you'll have several
interpersonal obstacles

to overcome in
your relationship.

- I think I need to
see your credentials.

- Listen, I know that
analytics and numbers

feel much more certain,

but I have tried the
scientific ways of dating.

Maybe there is more
to think about.

Besides, an astrologer
brought us together

for this date, right?

- You two will disagree far
more than you will agree.

- What? No, I need
a better answer.

- Leonard!

Relationships aren't
like calculus.

You cannot just have exact
inputs and solve for X.

- I think you mean algebra.

- Okay. That metaphor
did nothing for you.

Can you just keep an
open mind, please?

- I don't think this
is working, Vivi.

- Vivi and Tristan, a
relationship would be calm

with few disturbances,
low or high.

- Well, that's nice, right?

- Better than nice. I love
astrology and the stars.

Reminds me of camping and
staring up at the sky.

- You camp?

- Oh, yeah, being out
in the wilderness,

middle of nowhere, no
comforts, co phone.

- No phone?

That sounds bold.

- One day, I plan to move
totally off the grid,

just me and my partner.

- I think Vivi's more of a
city, arts and culture type.

- But for someone who
wants to be my partner,

I am willing to be open.

- This makes me happy.
You are growing, Vivi.

You make me proud.

Thank you, Arin.

(gentle music)

- Born October '92.

Oh, no.

Raina?

- Hm?

- Mom, what are you doing?

- He's just asking.

(Ervin softly chuckles)

- Boom, what did he say?

- That Tristan is
the match for you.

- Well, in that case, Vivi, can
I take you out this weekend?

- Great idea.

- [Tristan] Great.

- Great, and I hear the
weather's gonna be amazing too.

- Oh, yeah.

- To go for a
workout in the park.

With these giant, large
muscles and your deep voice,

I'm sure you'll like that.

- Everyone is getting
what they want.

- Yeah. They sure are.

- So, yes, this
weekend sounds great.

(lively music)

- You're a little too nervous

for someone going on a date
with her potential Mr. Right.

- Maybe it's because he
seems so good for me, Nila.

- How's the vibe with him?

- Well, first, I thought

he was a little too
cool for school,

but we've gotten closer.

He's actually really
caring and fun.

He's quick witted, but
he can take a joke too.

A successful entrepreneur,

has a great relationship
with his mom,

and when I'm with him,
he understands me.

He makes me easygoing
when I'm rigid,

and I think I help him to
be more open and sincere,

and I swear he really
cares about me,

but then he just pulls away.

It's like the universe is
telling us this won't work.

- Hun, I was asking
about Tristan, not Boom.

- Oh.

Yeah, right.

Who, okay, in terms of
everything, is a great fit.

He is sweet, smart,
caring, and attractive.

- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, yeah. On paper,
it is all there.

I mean, this process is
fixing Data Mate, right?

- Yes, but no matter how
great our inputs are,

there's one variable
we can't control,

whether users answer our
questions truthfully.

You know, if you're not
being honest with Raina

about what you want or feel,
nothing she's doing will work.

So, are you?

(phone ringing)

- Oh.

Hey, guys.

Wow. You look snazzy.

- Oh, thank you, baby.

We're just heading out for
our anniversary dinner.

- The first time we've made
a night of it in years.

- I'm so glad
you're celebrating.

- We won't be home 'til late,

so let's get together
for breakfast

an hour later than planned.

- Have fun, you two. I love you.

- [Walter] Bye.

- Now, that's a good omen.

- Maybe.

- Come on. You are rooting
for me to be happy, right?

- Of course. Vivi, that's
all I want for you.

- Good. Then that
makes two of us.

(Vivi chuckles)

(gentle music)
(team shouting)

(gentle music continues)

- [Boom] Time out!

- [Teammate] Dude.

- What?
- What are you doing?

- I thought I dropped
my keys back there.

- Dude, I saw you and Vivi.

Almost everyone here
has seen you two.

- Vicky, it's not
what you think.

- I'm on your side, okay?

So let me remind you
of something Pratik
Uncle always said.

A man's true friends point
out what he refuses to see.

- Sounds like Dad.

(gentle music)

- [Vicky] Time in!

- [Tristan] Nice and secure?

- [Vivi] Mhm.

- Don't worry. I'll
be right beside you.

Just follow my lead and
we'll make it up together.

- Okay.

- You're not afraid
of heights, are you?

- Not yet.

(Tristan chuckles)

- You'll be fine.

(gentle music)

- Just handholds and footholds.

- Okay.

Handholds and footholds.

(Vivi grunting)

Oh!
(Tristan chuckles)

- We're having some
hiccups, aren't we?

- Guess we're not
naturally in rhythm.

- That's okay. We'll work on it.

I love this place.

It's my favorite
getaway from the city.

- Oh.

- I'm glad to be here with you.

(playful music)

(Tristan and Vivi chuckle)

(phone dings)

- Oh, sorry. One
second, Tristan.

(message whooshes)

(Vivi chuckles)

I think that's a good moment
to close our date with.

- Bummer, but I get it.
You are worth the wait.

Besides, what's the rush

if we might just
work out for good?

- Okay, well...

See ya.

- [Tristan] Yeah.

- Mom, Dad!

I brought jalebi with me.

It's a kind of Indian sweet.

- In here, baby.

- I had another
date with Tristan.

I think there could
be potential maybe,

but I'm still thinking about...

You look exhausted.
What's wrong?

- We were up all night talking.

- About our relationship
and our lives.

- Okay.

- When you're young,
opposites attract,

and physical attraction
makes up for so much,

but it can't carry you through.

- What are you getting at?

- Sweetheart, for
our own happiness,

we've decided to get divorced.

- What?

Why?

You two have been
getting along so well.

- I know, baby.

I know, and the counseling

really helped us stop
with the yelling,

which meant we could finally
hear each other and ourselves.

- We know we can't
find what we need

if we force ourselves
to stay together.

- No, don't. Please, stay, stay.

Let's just talk about it.

- No. I cannot stomach
your reasons right now.

You're just giving up?

- Turtle.

- After all of these years,

you are just giving up
and I am not okay with it!

(solemn music)

(Vivi sighs)

(phone dings)

(message whooshes)

(keyboard clicking)

(message whooshes)

(peaceful music)

- Hey.

- Hi.

Oh, Tristan, you look great.

- Think so? Because
these clothes don't
really fit my style.

- Well, you've only had
them a couple weeks.

Give them another month
and they'll grow on you.

Besides,

we coordinate.

- I guess it does show
how unified we are.

Hey, there's something

I wanna tell you about
my work situation.

- [Server] Right
this way, please.

- Thank you.

So, which movie should we see?

- Oh, there's this
new action-thriller
set in the Rockies.

It looks so cool.

- Sure. That's an option.

- But if we can appreciate
the finer things as a couple,

then it shows that
we can work together

no matter the conditions.

So, how about we do
something with subtitles?

- Aw.

You really get it.

- Vivi, wait.

Before we go in,
there's something

I wanted to talk to you
about all night, and I just-

- I thought I heard you pull up.

(Raina chuckles)

You are overdue for a check-in.

Come in. Tell me everything.

- Actually, Raina, can you
give us a moment please?

- Oh, take your time.

- Tristan, she's
been expecting us.

If we can't honor our
commitment as a unit,

all of the research says we'll
be on a downward trajectory.

- Vivi!

What is going on?

It's like you've forgotten

all the progress
you've made with me.

- Vivi, I got a job
offer out of state

and I've been deciding whether
I'm gonna stay here or move.

- Oh, congrats.

Well, that's something
we'll have to discuss.

- I wanted us to work
out. I really did.

Our vibe's changed,

so I think I'm
gonna take the job.

Take care, Vivi.

I'll walk back.

(solemn music)

(Vivi softly sobs)

- You said your
system would work.

- Vivi, you know
it's not so simple.

- Your methods failed me too.

(Vivi sobs)

- Oh, Vivi.

(solemn music)

(knocking on door)
(TV chattering)

- One sec, Nila.

- Hey, Vivi.

- Hey.

- I saw you outside
of Mom's house.

I just wanna make
sure you were okay.

- Yeah. That's
what texts are for.

- And when you don't respond,

that's what knocking
on your door is for.

- I'm confused. Why do you care?

I mean, the matchmaking business
is on an upswing, right?

So, you're all set.

- That's not all
that matters to me.

- Right.

There's also your view on love,

like you told me
when we first met.

- Oh, Vivi, that-

- No, I mean, I should have
had your POV the whole time.

I chased love. I got burned.

Does that make you happy?

- No. Of course not.

- Hey, you know
the funny thing is

we had such
different approaches,

but here I am, alone,

just like you.

- You deserve better, Vivi.

(tender music)

- Somehow, this feels
worse than with Kenny.

At least I could say
it with his fault.

Now who do I blame?

- You're gonna be okay.

- Will I?

Or do I just need to accept
that I am not made for love?

- Come on. Come on.

- Oh, thanks for helping us.

We know this is
hard for you too.

- Of course. I'm here for you.

- And we're really sorry about
how your romance ended up.

- Well, I guess it
runs in the family.

(gentle music)

(Vivi sighs)

Okay.

(gentle music continues)

Oh my.

- Everything okay?

- See these drawings?

I was just a little kid.

In almost every picture,
you guys are fighting,

and I'm in the middle,
trying to make you get along.

I fought so hard to
keep you together.

- You know,

we should have never put
you in that position.

- I started keeping a mental
list of all of the things

that a good relationship
had that yours didn't,

but it wasn't about any guy.

It wasn't even about me.

It was about some
perfect partnership,

but all I really
knew about perfect

came from surveys and
studies and anonymous data.

Trying to optimize everything
only made things worse.

- Vivi, your mom and I only
ended up in a bad place

because we didn't do the
work before we got married.

- Yeah, we only cared
about the fun, the image,

all the superficial stuff.

- None of what we did

has to apply to you
or your relationships.

(gentle music)

(Boom sighs)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

- Bhumesh, you haven't
come in for so long.

You always walk
past the pooja room,

but you never come in.

Why?

- Because it's just a constant
reminder that Dad's gone

and it still really hurts,

and, of course, you
miss him 10 times more.

He was such a huge part of your
life and now you're just...

Alone.

Since Dad's been gone,
you've just been alone.

- That's why you
suddenly took on

a larger share of the business,

started checking on me at home?

You're here even now,
changing my light bulbs.

You realize I know how to
use the TaskRabbit, right?

- Jury's still out on
that one, Mom, but, yeah.

Dad wouldn't have wanted you
to be alone and neither do I.

- Is that why you won't
find a real relationship?

Because you think
that, if you find love,

it'll leave me even lonelier?

You know where I
feel the most alone?

In the pooja room.

Please come.

It's time.

(gentle music)

(Boom sniffles)

- You know, of
course, sometimes,

I feel sad without your father,

but that's only because of
the great love we shared,

and I take comfort in that.

You should too.

You're a good son for making
sure that I don't feel alone,

but nothing will
make me more happy

than seeing you find love.

Respect the past, but eyes
toward the future, no?

- I think

going to India to
go see his family

would help me make peace
with Dad being gone,

and, once I'm done,

it's time for you and
me to step into the now.

- Agreed.

Plus, you're always around.

I want some me time now.

(Raina and Boom chuckle)

(Boom sniffles)
(tender music)

- I love you, Mom.

- I love you.

(tender music)

- Right? And it is
important to me.

So, keep that in
mind, all right?

- Thanks. You wanted to see me?

- We did, yes.

Here. Come on in.

Take a seat.

- Thank you.

- So, I'll get right to it.

Your Raina Kumar experiment

boosted our user base and
profits in the short term.

Plus, I think a huge
percentage of our user base

ended up in long-term
relationships.

- Really? That's fantastic.

I have so many more
ideas for us too.

- Yes, your suggestions worked
well, a little too well.

(Adam chuckles)

So, we crunched the numbers,
and in the long run,

the most profitable
scenario for Data Mate

is if our clients
are repeat users,

coming back again and
again and again, so we are

ending the Raina modifications.

Yeah, if people are
gonna be confused

and doubt their own instincts,

might as well
capitalize on it, right?

But you, Vivi, you've
shown your metal.

(bright music)

So, how does a promotion to
senior vice president sound?

20% pay bump. Stock
options, of course.

- I quit.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Now, remember that
you signed an NDA!

- She didn't sign that NDA.

(phone rings)

- [Vivi] Hey, Raina. It's Vivi.

- [Raina] Hi, Vivi.

- I just wanted to call

and apologize for
how I spoke to you.

I was wrong.

You have done nothing but
help me and care about me.

- [Raina] Oh, enough. I accept.

- I really messed things up.

- [Raina] But, Vivi, if
you were your own obstacle

to finding love, then you
can also clear your own path.

- Raina, I've been
trying to call Boom too,

but he's not
answering his phone.

Do you know where he is?

- [Raina] He's about to
leave for a trip to India.

- What? When?

- [Raina] Right now.

- Okay, okay, thank you. Bye.

Nila!

- Uh, what's going on?

- I'll fill you in in the car.

Can you give me a ride ASAP?

- Of course. Yeah.

- This is it!

Oh, how do I look?

- [Nila] Perfect.
Now, go, go, go, go!

- Okay, okay!

(knocking on door)

- Oh, no.
(solemn music)

- Boom already left?

Oh, I am so bummed.

I really thought Raina was
gonna help you find your match.

- Are we sure she didn't?

I mean, all these weeks,

I have learned so
much about who I am

and why I do what I do.

Actually, I think Raina's
process worked perfectly.

I finally matched
with the person

that I have needed
to all along, myself.

- And what about getting
married by your next birthday?

- Forget any timeline.

Boom will eventually come
back, and when he does,

I will find him and we'll see.

I am ready to embrace that love
will happen when it happens.

Raina said you were headed
to a flight for India.

- I was, but I had to
come see you first.

- I'll give you guys a sec.

(Vivi chuckles)

- I was gonna go to your place,

but Mom said you might be here.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

- I am sorry about how I acted.

- I'm sorry too.

I didn't know how wanting
to be with you could work

with you as our clients, or
how you fit into my family,

or if I was even brave enough
to risk feeling sadness

in order to find joy with you.

- I think we can
address these concerns.

First off, you're fired.

- No more conflict of interest,

and as far as my family
dynamic, you make it better.

You fit perfectly.

- So, I guess all
that's left is,

are you willing
to take the risk?

Boom, are you
finally chasing love?

- Only if you're finally
letting love come to you.

(uplifting music)

(uplifting music continues)

(knocking on door)

Come in.

Mom.

- Bhumesh!

Bhumesh.

So handsome.

Your father would be so proud.

I am too.

I love you better.

- Oh, classic Indian mom moment.

(Boom and Raina laugh)

I love you too, Mom.

(gentle music)

- Nila, you look beautiful.

- Me?

Girl, I always knew you were
gonna make a beautiful bride,

but this is unreal.

- Vivi, we have another
good omen for the wedding.

The Raina app, the first to
incorporate real matchmakers

and Raina Kumar's principles,
is modernizing matchmaking.

It's a smashing success!

(Vivi and Nila squeal)

And that is because
of you and Nila.

- And you and Boom.
- Mhm.

- This is a family business.

- I'll see you both out there.

- I want to give you something.

- You are the
daughter I never had.

(exciting music)
(crowd cheering)

- The groom is here!

(lively music)

(lively music continues)

(vocalists singing
in foreign language)

(vocalists continue singing
in foreign language)

- Wow.

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

(vocalist continues singing
in foreign language)

(crowd applauding)

(vocalist continues singing
in foreign language)

(officiant speaking
in foreign language)

(officiant continues
speaking in foreign language)

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

(vocalists singing
in foreign language)

(vocalists continue singing
in foreign language)

(lively music)

(vocalist singing
in foreign language)

- [Nila] And, with that,

the couple are now
officially married!

(crowd applauding)

(exciting music)
(singers vocalizing)

(exciting music continues)

(crowd applauds)

(gentle music)

* Maybe it's the
lovely night sky *

* Telling us we're more
than just friends *

(gentle music)

- Seven steps down.

- The rest of our lives to go.

* If I fight too
hard, too hard *

* I'd never let down my guard *

* So, for now, can we pretend *

* That we don't know yet *
(crowd cheering)

* How the story ends *
